Quintinus Roscius

Quintinus Roscius (78-140) was a general of the Roman Empire.

Biography
Quintinus Roscius was from Rotomagus in Gaul (present-day Rouen, France), and he was born into a plebeian family. Roscius was commissioned in the Roman Army, and he became the commander of a Roman army sent to crush the Iceni uprising in northern England. At the Battle of Streatham in 120 AD, Roscius' army was defeated in a failed attack on the Iceni tribe, and he narrowly escaped the thorough annihilation of his army by the pursuing Britons. He returned to Gaul, and he commanded units in warfare against the Suebi and other Germanic tribes there.
